a, To be taught at curling club Hooking course May 6- June 5 Betty Stott is the teacher of the craft of hooking at the Georgian College Summer School of the Arts. Her Orillia course runs from July 7 to July 30, but Midlanders don't have to wait that long to find out how to make decorative and useful objects with the an- _ cient art of hooking. 'Atom May 6 to June 5, Mrs¥Stott is holding a course at the Midland curling rink on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00 till 10:00 p.m. "Because the classes are spread out for five weeks," says Mrs. Stott, "the students can do a lot of work at home which gives them a great feeling of ac- complishment."" The ten lessons are geared for absolute beginners. All they need to bring with them is a strong pair of scissors and a pencil and notebook. Mrs. Stott will provide the necessary hooks for $1.50. Her husband Jack has designed a lap frame for hooking which Mrs. Stott Betty Stott at work Coldwater to use Medonte dump by E. Lorraine Orr Acting reeve Russell Creighton and councilman Cyril Martin met with members of the Medonte Township council to make arrangements for Coldwater to use the Medonte dump. The Ministry of the Environment has set April 30 as the final day for using the dump in Coldwater. Medonte has suggested a cost of $200 per month for the use of their disposal facilities. Coldwater council is considering this offer. Medonte is in the process of preparing a bylaw designating the use of land in the area. They have suggested that land on all sides of Coldwater be classified as wasteland. Coldwater council is ob- jecting to this, but is unable to give a reply to Medonte until reeve Earl Brandon returns from vacation. feels is much more con- venient and satisfactory than the traditional hoops. "'I take mine with me everywhere," she says. "I even work at it in the car." At the end of the five week course, sti-dents will not only have a finished piece of hooked work, but they will have the skills which will enable them to tackle any piece of hooking they choose. "You can hook wall hangings, stair carpets, little rugs, chair pads or carpet bags," says Mrs. Stott, and she has done them all. Her most spectacular piece is a hooked '"'painting" of Wyevale church. "Once you get into hooking," she says, "'you can do all sorts of things with fabric. Some people dye their own flannel and you can also re-cycle old fabrics. They must be wool however. Synthetics just won't take the dye." Betty Stott takes an ar- tist's joy in the beautiful shaded and textured pictures she makes with her hook and subtly shaded flannel strips. She will happily com- municate that joy, along with the skills involved in hooking, to 15 interested people beginning on May 6.

The public must now realize that 20 to 25 degrees C represents sum- mer comfort, 0 degrees C is freezing, and -20 degrees C is cold. Our temperature readings on the left say you should be comfortable, whether in degrees F or in degrees C. The inventor of the mercury-in-glass ther- mometer was Gabriel Farenheit, a German instrument maker, the year 1714. His scale provided 180 degrees between the freezing and boiling points of water. Being a European, he had decided that the point at which sea-water froze should be zero, the coldest temperature to be experiénced in his environment. This choice resulted in freezing being at 32 degrees F and boiling at 212 degrees F. We have lived with these funny numbers ever + since. In 1742, the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius proposed that the scale between freezing and boiling be 100 degrees and thus was born the centigrade scale. (centi means divided by 100). There was some confusion in use of the name centigrade, since it was also used in angular measure, and in 1948 the General Conference on weights and measures decided that the tem- perature scale would be called Celcius. The Canadian practice will be to write the tem- perature as degrees C without a period following the C and to refer to temperature not as "above" Zero, but as "'plus" and "'minus'"'. In deciding to go directly into Celsius, the Metric Commission studied the conversion experience of other countries. In some countries where both scales were reported for a period of years, confusion still exists while in others, where Farenheit' was dropped suddenly, the public adapted within a period of weeks. At CKMP radio, we hope to make the change swift to benefit our audience and. the public in Good Luck, and Happy Celsius!
